Infinix’s latest gaming-focused smartphone, the GT 10 Pro, was launched in India earlier in August to much fanfare. The handset offered solid specifications for under ₹20,000, and many were impressed with its flashy design. However, the GT 10 Pro is no longer available at its launch price. Infinix has quietly increased the price by ₹1,000.
The Infinix GT 10 Pro was launched in India for ₹19,999. The price remained the same when it first went on sale on August 10. But as of writing this, the phone is listed on Flipkart for ₹20,999. Twitter/X user Yash (@i_hsay) tipped us off about this unannounced price increase, claiming Infinix has done this before with other smartphones.
Infinix has not given a reason for the price increase. It is unusual for companies to raise the prices of their products after they have been released, but it does happen sometimes. For example, Nothing last year increased the price of Ear (1) price from $99 to $150, citing rising inflation and a weaker British pound as reasons.
In the case of the Infinix GT 10 Pro, we haven’t received any justification from the brand. The company might be trying to offset the increasing costs of components, or perhaps it’s just an attempt to maximize profit margins on the smartphone.
It’s worth noting the Rs. 1000 increase in the price does not make the Infinix GT 10 Pro a bad phone. With a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 108MP primary camera, the handset is still a good option in its price range. Not to mention, the GT 10 Pro’s Dimensity 8050 chip and flashy design make it an affordable Nothing Phone (2) alternative.
